The Harley Quinn Movie is Coming!
For some reason, DC and Warner Bros. have decided to call the Harley Quinn movie Birds of Prey. There’s also a subtitle of “and the Fantabulous Emancipation of One Harley Quinn”. Honestly, I kind of like that long title. But based on this first full trailer, the movie probably should have just been called “Harley Quinn”.
I couldn’t even tell you who anyone else is in this trailer. I think Huntress is the one with the crossbow, and I think that’s Black Canary at the microphone, but I’ve got no clue much of anyone else. Ewan MacGregor is playing Black Mask, but the movie doesn’t tell me that.
It’s still a solid trailer, showing off Harley Quinn in all her wacky glory. Her style is a little too tacky for my tastes, but that’s probably the point. I think this movie has a chance to do some real good.
Birds of Prey and the Fantabulous Emancipation of One Harley Quinn comes out on Feb. 7.

The King’s Man Looks Pretty Neat!
I wasn’t too impressed by the first trailer for The King’s Man, the upcoming prequel to the Kingsmen series. But this second trailer looks like a lot of fun!
Lots of highly choreographed fighting, lots of nifty gadgets, some cool dialogue; it all looks like a pretty neat adventure. Consider me on board for looking forward to this movie, which comes out on Feb. 14…Valentine’s Day.
I need to find a date!

There Are Few Things I Want More Than For Elsa to be Gay
World peace would be nice and all, but I want Disney to use their power and clout to make Elsa gay in Frozen 2. I’ve written about this before, but there’s a new Frozen 2 trailer that doesn’t contradict these hopes and dreams for the world.
I mean, come on. Let it happen. I fully respect the idea that Elsa doesn’t need a love interest. But everybody loves a good romance. And Elsa should be gay. I want Disney to make it happen. I want Disney to use their massive entertainment empire to stare back into the eyes of every bigot and religious nutjob out there and tell them: Let it go.
Also, magical flames in Frozen 2? Surely there’s an awesome fire-magic lady out there to partner up with Elsa’s ice-magic.
And surely we can note that the trailer is being intentionally vague about the origins of that magic fire and what lies in the enchanted forest. Love interests and romance are a big part of Disney movies, but none of the trailers so far even hint at such a thing for Elsa. So either Disney isn’t going to go down that road for arguably their most popular princess in years…or they’re keeping it a secret!
I’m just gonna hold on hope for awhile.

How Godzilla: King of the Monsters Should Have Ended
I love a good Monday where I don’t have to do much work. I can just search the internet and save one of those fun parody videos on YouTube. Wherein people with more talent and drive than me make actual, original content.
This one is pretty funny. The other monsters laughing at Godzilla not being able to fly is the funniest this channel has been in possibly ever. Hats off to the fine folks at How It Should Have Ended!
Though at this point, does anybody even remember Godzilla: King of the Monsters? Pretty forgettable flick.

It’s a Jurassic World; We’re Just Living In It
So apparently, when those dozen or so dinosaurs were released at the end of Jurassic World: Fallen Kingdom, it was enough to spread out and inhabit the entire world. Apparently nothing was done to stop their spread or kill them or anything. The government and the military just let them do whatever they wanted.
Which brings us to Battle at Big Rock, a short film made by Colin Trevorrow, the actual director of the Jurassic World films. One assumes this is a preview of what’s to come with the Fallen Kingdom follow-up. It’s a fun little film. You just have to suspend your disbelief on the premise.
I like it, for the most part. The family is a good group and the effects are top notch. Perhaps I even like Battle at Big Rock more than Fallen Kingdom! The next movie should star these people.
The premise of dinosaurs taking over the world is good…the idea that we reached that point from the lame ending of Fallen Kingdom is bad.
